Establishment of Office of Post-doctoral Affairs (OPA)
This message was sent to all faculty, students and staff on BUMC on Friday, September 24, 2010
Today is National Post-Doc Appreciation day and I am delighted to announce that we are launching an office on the medical campus that will be focused on support of this critical constituency of Boston University. The Office of Post-doctoral Affairs (OPA), housed within the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences will address the needs of post-doctoral researchers across the medical campus.
In addition to searching for program staff, we are busy planning some inaugural events – look for announcements of these in the not too distant future. In honor and support of the post-docs at Boston University, next year and beyond the OPA will sponsor special events on National Post-Doc Appreciation Day. But for now, a simple recognition of how important they are to the university’s mission will have to suffice. Please join me in recognizing our post-doctoral community and we look forward to bringing you the Office of Post-doctoral Affairs.
